Logistics of car transfer

I'm attempting to buy a used car and sell my old car, and cannot figure out how one is supposed to manage the logistics of having two cars and only one registration, especially in Somerville with the draconian parking rules. I understand that it isn't legal to park a car with no plates on the street, even with my visitor permit in the dashboard? Nor, of course, is it legal to put one plate on each car. So what do those of us who aren't lucky enough to have private driveways do??

and btw, if anyone's interested in a '98 Subaru wagon in decent condition, feel free to drop me a line. preferably asap ;)

I just dealt with this hassle, and had to register both cars and pay for insurance for an overlapping month. Suxx, but I couldn't figure anything else out. :(

I use Progressive Direct, and they give pro-rated refunds down to the day if you cancel or reduce your coverage.
